Today’s game is Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. I went with a Out of Animus Screenshot to mix things up from the Usual Pirate Decor. i’ve gotten all the way to Sequence 12. I spent most of today doing Story Missions, so i’m going to be keeping the Screenshots a bit light so as to keep from spoiling it for anybody who might be considering playing it.
I’m almost ready to finish up the game. Tomorrow i plan to finish the story and hopefully get all the collectibles before doing Freedom Cry and moving onto what game i decide to do next.
While i was playing, A tornado came by and grabbed a ship and ripped it apart. it was something like out of Looney Tunes. I wish i got a clip of it but this was the perpetrator shortly after:
There was also a segment where you swim up through the water where Sharks with Sharks swimming around you. After doing all the Diving sections yesterday the Sharks had me on edge. In the diving sections they can latch on and maul you if you don’t escape via a QTE. The entire sequences had this fuzzy effect over it too so it had me on edge.
I like Assassin’s Creed games, loved 2, enjoyed 3, and 4 is considered the best, but for some reason I couldn’t get into it. It’s possible that I have changed, cause I played 2 and 3 closer to launch, and 4 only in last couple of years.
Not sure if I should continue with the rest of the series, specially Origins etc. heard they are very bloated. Maybe I’ll give Mirage or Shadows a try.
4 for me is probably carried a lot by the story for me. Though I do enjoy the Naval combat. If you like the Stealth i’d suggest Unity. It has by far the best refinement of the Stealth mechanics
Yeah, main story itself wasn’t bad, it was all the side stuff I couldn’t get myself into. I did finish the game, but gave up on all side stuff around mid way.
Yeah, i get that. I’ve been going through getting collectibles today and some of them take forever. I’m dreading getting all the chests. Idk why Ubisoft insists on adding so many every game

Origins is enjoyable, Odyssey felt bloated and empty to me. Origins had little bits of story in every sidequest. I wasn’t rushing to get it over with.
Thanks for the info, will check it out.
